1 Section 1 About myself

1.1 Text 1 Let me introduce myself

1.1.1 Read the text and translate it

Hello, friends. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Vera. My surname or last name is Voronina. I was born on the 13th of October in Sochi, Krasnodarsky Krai. This is the most beautiful city in Russia situated on the Black Sea coast. Now I am a first-year student at the Faculty of Economics of Rostov State University.

Now let me describe my appearance. I am tall and slim and have fair hair and blue eyes. My friends say that I am pretty. I love sports and music. I was very serious about a career in gymnastics when I was in the 4th form. But then I broke my arm and doctors didn't let me to go in for gymnastics. I love to listen to the modern music and dance. I dance a lot and I hope I am good at it. I also love swimming. I always swim in the Black sea when I visit my parents.

I would like to tell you about my family. There are five people in our family. My father's name is Mikhail Evgenyevich. He is a mathematician by education but works at a bank now. My mother's name is Natalya Yakovlevna. She works as a chief accountant at the hotel ”Zemchuzhina”. She also has much work about the house after she gets home from work. But my sister and I always help her. Yes, let me introduce my younger sister. She is still a pupil. Her name is Tanya and she is in the fifth form. She is very pretty and a great dancer. We are good friends with my sister. My grandmother, my mother's mother, lives with us. She is very kind and helps us a lot.

Our family is very friendly, we have many friends. In summer many relatives come to visit us. And of course they use a chance to spend several weeks in beautiful Sochi.

In May I have finished school №5 in Sochi. I did well in all the subjects but my favourite subjects at school were Computer Science and English. I also enjoyed Geography lessons.

I am very interested in learning English because I always wanted to become an economist or a manager at some joint venture. That is why I think it is necessary to know at least one foreign language. Besides, knowledge of foreign languages helps in everyday life.

1.3 Text 2 My working day

I am a first-year student of the Orenburg State University. My parents live in Sochi and I study in Orenburg so I need some housing. There are two opportunities for me: I can live in a dormitory (a students hostel), or to rent a flat (an apartment).

I decided to rent a room. To make the rent smaller, I also decided to share my room with another girl - Olya Alyokhina. She studies at the University, too, and she is my best friend now.

Now, let me describe my usual working day. My classes begin at 8:30. So on week-days I have to get up at 7:15. I don't have an alarm clock and usually my roommate wakes me up and my working day begins. I turn on the radio and do my morning exercises while Olya takes a shower. I don't take a bath in the morning because I don't have enough time for it. I take a cool shower (that's when I completely wake up), brush my teeth. After that I go back to our room and get dressed. I brush my hair and put on a light make-up. Then we have breakfast. Olya makes breakfast every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I have to serve breakfast on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I love to listen to the latest news on the radio while I am eating and Olya prefers light music. We leave the house around eight and walk to the nearest bus stop. We live rather close to the University and it usually takes us about ten-fifteen minutes to get there by bus. Sometimes when the weather is fine and we have enough time we walk to the University. It is very healthy to walk much.

7

Our classes begin at 8.30 in the morning and they end at 6:00 p.m. We have lectures in different subjects. As a rule we have three or four classes a day. Sometimes it is very hard to wait till they end.

Usually I don't miss my classes because I want to pass my exams successfully. But sometimes I do, especially when the weather is fine and the classes are boring.

At one o'clock we have a big break. It lasts for half an hour. That's my favourite time. That is the time to share the latest news and to gossip. My friends and I prefer not to go to the canteen and we often have lunch in a small cafe not too far from the University. At one thirty we have to be back to our classes. During the working day we also have several short breaks that last for fifteen minutes.

Occasionally I have to stay at the University till 6 or even 7 o'clock in the evening because I go to the library to get ready for my practical classes or to write a report. As a rule I have no free time on week-days. So by the end of the week I get very tired.

When we come home in the evening, we have supper together and share the

news.

After supper we wash dishes, drink coffee or tea and watch TV. I prefer old comedies and Olya likes soap-operas or films about travelling. Sometimes Olya and I go for a walk in the park or visit our friends.

At about eleven at night I go to bed. I like to read something before going to bed and Olya likes to listen to some music. Sometimes I fall asleep while I am reading and Olya gets up and switches off the light and says Good night!
